Puck Daddy’s 2015 NHL Trade Deadline Day drinking game

Puck Daddy’s 2015 NHL Trade Deadline Day drinking game

It’s been more like NHL Trade Deadline Week rather than Day, huh? All the excitement has occurred in the days leading up to today’s 3 p.m. ET deadline. Who knows what kind of action we’ll see over the next few hours, but the excitement sure seems to have been sucked out of today.

While you either sit at home skipping work or school or are slacking off at work or school waiting to see who’s moving where, we felt like injecting your day with a bit more fun by bringing back out world famous drinking games.

We hope this helps and please do add your own submissions in the comments. We suspect that'll be more fun than these next several hours.

Enjoy.
